Prospective Study of Epigenetic Alterations Responsible for Isolated Hemihyperplasia/Hemihypoplasia and Their Association With Leg Length Discrepancy
2021-05-24
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>Hemihyperplasia and hemihypoplasia result in leg length discrepancy (LLD) by causing skeletal asymmetry. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) are opposite growth-affecting disorders caused by opposite epigenetic alterations at the same chromosomal locus, 11p15, to induce hemihyperplasia and hemihypoplasia, respectively. Because of...
